Spouses, children, friends, siblings, neighbors, and colleagues ran for someone they knew who either was killed, taken captive or injured during Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine. Amid the lively backdrop of Ukrainian songs, joy and sorrow intermingled in the air as life carried on despite the war. Those competing remotely could run any distance they wanted and were encouraged to post about it on social media. Nova Post has delivered starter kits to 65 countries across all continents, said Inna Popereshniuk, co-founder of Nova Post. She dedicated her race to six colleagues who were killed and 17 injured in a Russian attack on the Nova Post depot in the Kharkiv region on Oct. 21.
